Armenian Nutmeg Cake

This Armenian Nutmeg Cake is a caramel flavoured cake with a hint of nutmeg and has a crunch from the nuts. The cake consists of a chewy/crunchy biscuit base, moist fluffy cake, and a crunchy caramel topping. It is sooo easy and so delicious and is a huge hit with my family!! It is a nice change from the usual flavoured cakes!!

I had a few trial and errors making this cake. The nuts can burn pretty easily in the oven, so keep it on the lowest rack. I found it was best at 150 degrees to toast the nuts to get a smokiness and crunch, but not burn them. It also bakes it into a really fluffy and moist cake!!

I hand chopped the nuts as I like a chunkier consistency, however you can always use a low speed/a few seconds in your Thermomix to chop them.

Add flour, sugar and butter to bowl.

Mix 10 seconds/Speed 4.

Remove half of the mixture…

…and press into the base of a greased and lined cake tin.

Add milk, egg, bicarb soda and nutmeg to bowl.

Mix 10 seconds/Speed 4.

Pour into cake tin.

Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top of the cake mixture…

…then sprinkle brown sugar on top.

Bake on the lowest rack in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until skewer comes out clean.
